The Cleveland Browns may not be particularly enamored with the thought of Johnny Manziel giving Baker Mayfield advice, but he’s doing it whether they like it or not.
Manziel appeared on the Dan Patrick Show on Thursday, and he urged Mayfield to lean on the veterans around him to overcome the challenges that come with being the Cleveland Browns’ franchise quarterback.
“I feel like Baker’s in a better situation having a vet quarterback in there in Tyrod (Taylor),” Manziel said, via Mary Kay Cabot of Cleveland.com. “There’s not pressure on him to come in and start Day 1 and I think he’s going into it and he’s going to learn from the vets.
“It hurts when you don’t have a guy like Joe Thomas on the O-Line because once I started to get to know Joe and started to pick his brain, I really started to learn a lot of stuff. That guy is a legend, but (Mayfield) has good people around him, he’s got a good group of receivers, and trust in those guys that they have around him. That would be my advice to him.”
It’s actually pretty sound advice. It helps that Mayfield seems to have a good head on his shoulders, judging by how he’s dealt with things that could easily be distractions for other players.
